#Abrahamic religion islam

Do you think maybe that there’s a chance you are REALLY, REALLY behind on current events & the statue is the beast? I mean literally. Like the statue sits there until the apocalypse & then it turns out it’s an actual robot that a consciousness can switch into when they decide it’s the right day. I’m sorry to be scary, but It is. It’s not just a warning. This is really happening, just like all those other signs you see are also there. It’s there because it’s supposed to be hidden in plain sight to then be switched on, just like other things/statues/etc hidden in plain sight. You’ve been warned many, many times, but each time until the end there’s always a chance to change the future. It’s never hopeless, but you have to come to terms with the fact this has been right in front of you for a very long time. Do you want to take it seriously or do you want to ignore it till it’s too late? The decision is always in your hands.

Why is the world quiet on this side of islam? And if someone raises the question it's considered iSlAmApHoBiC. This is what you all support by saying that.

does anyone know when in history the abrahamic religeons diverged in terms of opinions towards alcohol?

like, wine for jews is literally a religous drink. we even have a holliday where youre meant to get drunk.

but christians and muslims consider alcohol a sin.

what happened?

Why do y'all keep saying "Judeo-Christian" when you mean just Christian.

And why do you not say Abrahamic when you don't mean just Christian.

Very rarely does someone have a criticism that's actually applies to specifically Christianity and Judaism. Most of your criticism is either solely Christianity or it applies to Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Baha'i, Chrislam, etc.

Why are you afraid to directly mention or use a word that includes Islam when you're criticizing the Abrahamic god as a whole?

Why do you invoke Judaism in criticisms of specifically the faults of Christianity? Even Christo-Islamic would fit more contexts than Judeo-Christian, if you seek to criticize the most powerful amongst Abrahamic oppressive ideology.

Y'all silly fr. And cowards tbh. Say what you mean.

I swear to god, intelligent design proponents have the observational skills of a rock

"The universe is perfectly designed for us!"

...Most of the universe is made up of a void that has neither heat nor air, but you know what it does have? Radiation that would kill you instantly if you were to go out into said void without protection.

Not Tardigrades, though. They'd be fine. Those tiny freaks are goddamn indestructible.

...Our source of light and heat gives us skin cancer.

And that light source literally cooks our skin cells if we stay exposed to it for too long (aka sunburns).

"The world is perfectly designed for us!"

My dude, humans are only capable of surviving on 10% of the world's surface.

And that's including places where we technically can survive if we don't spend too much time outside and if you want to go outside you have to cover up every bit of skin otherwise it'll freeze.

71% of the world is water but only 1.2% of it is both accessible and drinkable.

While technically 3% of the world's water is freshwater, most of it is locked away in glaciers.

Our bodies are perfectly designed!

There is a gap between the ovary and the fallopian tube, which means the fertilized egg might implant outside the womb.

This means that the embryo is guaranteed to not survive and the person carrying it will die if it the embryo is not removed.

There is a 0% survival rate for an ectopic pregnancy without medical intervention.

Between one third and half of human fertilized eggs do not implant.

They just get washed away with the menstrual blood and the person isn't even aware they were pregnant.

We breathe and eat from the same place (the pharynx), which means it's possible to choke to death.

Abraham performed no miracles, commanded no armies, ruled no kingdom, gathered no mass of disciples and made no spectacular prophecies. Yet there can be no serious doubt that he is the most influential person who ever lived, counted today, as he is, as the spiritual grandfather of more than half of the six billion people on the face of the planet. His immediate descendants, the children of Israel, known today as Jews, are a tiny people numbering less than a fifth of a per cent of the population of the world. Yet they outlived the Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks and Romans, the medieval empires of Christianity and Islam, and the regimes of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, all of which opposed Jews, Judaism or both, and all of which seemed impregnable in their day. They disappeared. The Jewish people live. It is no less remarkable that the small, persecuted sect known as the Christians, who also saw themselves as children of Abraham, would one day become the largest movement of any kind in the history of the world, still growing today two centuries after almost every self-respecting European intellectual predicted their faith’s imminent demise. As for Islam, it spread faster and wider than any religious movement in the lifetime of its founder, and endowed the world with imperishable masterpieces of philosophy and poetry, architecture and art, as well as a faith seemingly immune to secularisation or decay. All other civilisations rise and fall. The faith of Abraham survives.

On the 10 Commandments:

——-

The Fourth Commandment Explained

———————

People often still debate the meaning of what God’s Commandments are after the numerous translations. The Orthodox Jewish Bible actually contains the transcript of that speech I gave that day in Shemot 20.

And in my own words: If you do not hold anything else, hold & speak my commandments. Let us review the originals as they were intended- the speech with the teaching summary. Any & all attempts to do harm and/or cause suffering by bypassing the Commandments with “loopholes” will be considered with harsh penalty.

“Remember Yom HaShabbos, to keep it kodesh. Sheshet yamim shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: But the Yom HaShevi’i is the Shabbos of Hashem Eloheicha; in it thou shalt not do any melachah, thou, nor thy ben, nor thy bat, thy eved, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy ger that is within thy gates; For in sheshet yamim Hashem made Shomayim and Ha’Aretz, the yam, and all that in them is, and rested Yom HaShevi’i; for this reason Hashem blessed Yom HaShabbos, and set it apart as kodesh.”

‭‭Shemot‬ ‭20‬:‭8‬-‭11‬ ‭TOJB2011‬‬

Keep at least one good day or Sabbath “set aside” or spiritually different than your other days of the week. Spirituality can mean many things, but ultimately there is an underlying belief that “lifting the soul” or caring for that intangible part of yourself is essential. The intangible is often our intuitions, our feelings, our connectedness to ourselves & the universe & just like how we see that expressed in so many different way across a variety of cultures, Christianity as a practice can also be expressed that way.

You must dedicate at a minimum 1 day out of 7 to rest & having a focus on practices to lift the soul. Your community, anyone that even steps foot near your land as a guest, & those that work with and/or for you must also do the same. That can mean a lot of different practices & not always necessarily the practice of going to church, but ultimately it’s a focus on practices that nourish your soul. God wants you to take care of yourself.

You can find other versions/passages talk about punishment for not holding Sabbath in reverence, but that is for more specific situations. For example, If you claim yourself to be of this God, benefit, and then exploit people by making them work everyday without any rest you will be sinful in God’s eyes.

You have to remember Christianity back when it first was being introduced to people was INCREDIBLY radical in comparison to the way countries were run, the concept of kingship, & it also advocated for the abolishment of slavery.

Many commonly held interpretations of a variety of Christian practices & teachings are a result of the original documents being censored & altered by kings, empires & politics.

It originally was perceived as a disruptive force because it didn’t ask for equality, it demanded it in a tenuous time period of geopolitical instability.

Moses was known as the guy who had freed a bunch of slaves. You really think the political forces that existed during that time frame were really just going to let a “criminal” get up on a public platform & say whatever they want with the risk of him causing more slave uprisings?

Absolutely not. And it changed the world forever.

something i love about muslims is the way that they honor God in everyday language. words like, "alhamdulillah", "subhanallah", "inshallah"....such a beautiful way to think of things. alhamdulillah for everything, thank you God for the things you've blessed me with. subhanallah rolls off your tongue like sweet honey as you admire the things our Creator made. inshallah- if God wills it- may we meet again another day. i wish i could speak these words, i feel like it would strengthen my faith. however, i am not from an arabic speaking culture and as a Christian, i don't want to appropriate islam.

“"If God had not meant for such diversity, he would have made us all alike"

— Shannon Chakraborty, ‘The Adventures of Amina Al- Sarafi’

Not to be dramatic but this book is so good and changing my life.

Not only is it an entertaining adventure, I am learning so much about Islam and as a Christian feeling to much Abrahamic solidarity as a person of faith. We truly have so much more in common than we do different.

Anyways I signed up for a fun pirate romp and instead am getting theological education and having a spiritual experience.

I have a question for all religious people (just those of Abrahamic religions).

So, God knows everything, right? And “everything” means He can see what you are doing every second, and He also knows what you are thinking right now. Thoughts are part of everything.

Also, because He created everything, He has more cool superpowers! He can see the future!

So, now the question is, why did He tell Abraham to kill his child?

Like, He knows everything! There is no need for such a horrible “test”! He can even tell what Abraham will do before it happens!

There are two possibilities: One, there is no God. Two, He is a madman, a sadistic one.
